As the players from the five major guilds withdrew from the Divine City...
Whoosh!
Black clouds descended.
Ghost King Soul Manipulator · Zade appeared in front of Godfather.
Although its body was controlled by the SS-rank Angel Clan divine artifact [Heavenly Gu], the Soul Manipulator · Zade still retained its own consciousness.
Having been used, it naturally hated Godfather to the bone.
"If I remember correctly, with the Living Gu of the Heavenly Gu, it takes twelve hours to implant the Gu, and it can only be used for one hour."
"You only have half an hour. That is the amount of time you can control me."
"Once half an hour passes and the effect of the Heavenly Gu disappears, you, and every single one of you, I will tear you all to pieces."
Hearing this, Liu Kai, Chen Feng, as well as all the players present from the Genesis and Divine Kingdom guilds, all felt a chill run down their backs.
"Boss! Your control over the Ghost King only lasts for an hour, not permanently?"
As soon as Liu Kai finished speaking, Chen Feng said, "I checked the official information on the Heavenly Gu divine artifact from Divine Oracle, and it is indeed like that."
"The Living Gu of the Heavenly Gu takes 12 hours to implant, and once activated, the Gu worm can survive inside the target for only one hour."
"And as soon as the Gu worm dies, the target will immediately break free from control."
Hearing this, Liu Kai said incredulously, "Then what use is it? Once that time comes, the Ghost King will be taken back under the control of the Nether again. Won't the Nether still kill us even without bringing the Ghost King along?"
"Damn! This Ghost King is way too troublesome!"
"Hehehehehe! Foolish mortals, you know fear now, don't you?", Ghost King Soul Manipulator · Zade let out a chilling laugh.
For a moment, everyone present was immersed in the Ghost King's fear and gloom, falling into panic.
At this moment, Godfather's calm sentence interrupted the Soul Manipulator · Zade's laughter, "Then I'll let you taste the flavor of the Death Gu."
Right at this moment, Chen Feng also found the relevant record about the Heavenly Gu based on the official information, "Besides the Living Gu, the Heavenly Gu can also release another kind of Gu worm, the Death Gu."
"Once the Death Gu enters the body, it can control the person it is implanted into without any time limit, permanently, until the person being implanted dies."
"But to implant the Death Gu, it must be inside a dead body, and furthermore, it must be a dead body whose killing was personally completed by the person implanting the Gu…"
"In other words, the prerequisite for using the Death Gu to control the Ghost King is to kill it first…"
As soon as these words came out, all the players present were at a loss.
"This Ghost King is so monstrous, who can kill it?"
"Boss Godfather used the Living Gu to control it. Can he order it to kill itself?"
"Of course not! First use the Living Gu to control it into killing itself, then use the Death Gu to take over. Are you trying to exploit a bug?"
Just as everyone was helpless and looking at one another, Godfather suddenly stepped forward.
As if it had sensed the killing intent within Godfather.
The Soul Manipulator · Zade, however, did not take it seriously, "You? You think you can kill me?"
Godfather did not speak.
As if he had prepared long ago, he took out magic scrolls one after another from his bag.
Snap!
As Godfather crushed one scroll after another, one black negative-effect aura after another continuously enveloped the Soul Manipulator · Zade.
"This is… an A-rank magic scroll, Weakening? I remember its effect seems to be reducing the target's defense by 50%."
"And an A-rank Vulnerability scroll! Increasing the target's damage taken by 50%!"
"A-rank Dimensional Reduction, reducing the target's resistance by 50%!"
"No! Those are only the normal scroll effects," Ji Ningshuang said, "Combined with Godfather's SS-rank talent, Heavenly Demon Dance, the effects of all the scrolls are increased tenfold."
"500% defense reduction!"
"500% increased damage taken!"
"500% resistance reduction!"
As soon as her voice fell, as Godfather crushed the last magic scroll in his hand...
Whoosh!
A burst of blood-colored light erupted from his body.
His fighting spirit erupted wildly.
Pfft!
As the flaming magic spear in his hand moved, he thrust it into the body of the Soul Manipulator · Zade.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The power of the flames released from the magic spear erupted inside the Soul Manipulator · Zade, bursting into waves of blood-colored light.
The next moment, one extremely high blood-red damage number after another continuously popped up above the Soul Manipulator · Zade's head.
-132546!
-119763!
-126497!
Immediately, the surroundings echoed with the sounds of the Genesis and Divine Kingdom players gasping.
"Holy crap! That's some seriously high damage!"
"This is a level 100 Ghost King! An existence that even top experts like Rulebound and Liuli, the top-ranked players on the Heaven Rankings, can't contend with! Godfather is a Magic Knight, yet he can actually deal such high damage to the Ghost King!"
"Don't overlook one thing: Godfather is also a Heaven Rankings expert! His current identity is third on the Heaven Rankings of Inferno City. His strength is even above Nether's, second only to Rulebound and Liuli!"
"His SS-rank talent is simply too ridiculous!"
"Doesn't that depend on who has it? Could an ordinary person casually take out so many A-rank magic scrolls?"
"Looks like this Godfather really is extraordinary! I was still a little unconvinced before, but now, brothers, I'm following him!"
"I'm following him too!"
"Brothers, attack! Let's kill the Ghost King together!"
Amid these shouts, the surrounding Genesis and Divine Kingdom players all surged forward, launching a siege against Ghost King Soul Manipulator · Zade.
Taking advantage of the Ghost King having been weakened to the limit by Godfather's tenfold-enhanced magic scrolls.
At this moment, the attacks dealt by the Genesis and Divine Kingdom players to the Soul Manipulator · Zade were finally no longer forced 1-point damage that could not penetrate its defense.
Instead, they could all deal several thousand points of damage.
"Holy shit! Even after being weakened by a tenfold-enhanced A-rank magic scroll, this Ghost King can still take so much damage! This Ghost King is seriously badass!"
"Kill it quickly! Strike while it's down!"
Under the concentrated attacks of all the players, the health bar above the Soul Manipulator · Zade's head rapidly dropped.
And under Godfather's control through the Heavenly Gu, it was also unable to escape the battlefield.
At this moment, it had become like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Seeing that Godfather was so strong that even a level 100 Ghost King could not contend with him, Chen Feng unconsciously thought of a question.
"If Boss is this powerful, why not just deal with Rulebound himself? Why does he still need to use this Ghost King?"
"Wouldn't it work to deal with Rulebound the same way he dealt with the Ghost King?"
"Rulebound has high defense, so use magic scrolls to reduce his defense! If his damage is high, reduce his damage! With tenfold-enhanced magic scrolls, this SS-rank talent can directly weaken any opponent into a dog and toy with them!"
Ji Ningshuang denied this, "Rulebound has a divine pet from the Divine Clan, Divine Descent Seraph. His pet can even dispel Qin Ming's SSS-rank Judgment and Belina's S-rank Declaration of War."
"Magic scrolls, let alone tenfold enhancement, even if they were enhanced a hundredfold, a thousandfold, or ten thousandfold, they would still be useless against him. They would be dispelled instantly."
Just then, seeing the Ghost King already in imminent danger, Ji Ningshuang seemed to suddenly think of something, and her heart suddenly trembled.
"There is a contract between the Ghost King and Qin Ming. If the Ghost King dies while the contract is active, Qin Ming will also suffer a corresponding punishment."
"Especially with a contracted target of the Ghost King's level, it is highly likely that the punishment Qin Ming receives will directly cripple him."
"If Godfather kills the Ghost King, it is equivalent to crippling Qin Ming."
Even though Qin Ming had already turned against them, recalling the time she had spent with Qin Ming during this period...
When she was in danger, Qin Ming had stepped in to help her.
When she was mocked and humiliated by Belina, Qin Ming had spoken up for her.
When Lin Mo used the SSS-rank magic scroll Annihilation·Myriad Tribulations Unending to cripple her, Qin Ming had taken her to level up.
At this moment,.Ji Ningshuang still could not let go of Qin Ming.
A faint light flickered in her eyes.
"Qin Ming."
"This is the last time I'll help you."
As she spoke, Ji Ningshuang looked at the A-rank divine artifact worn around her wrist: One Heart.
